Tremcar, a North American tank trailer and truck-mounted tank manufacturer, has acquired Pacific Truck Tank (PTT), a Sacramento-based builder and servicer of petroleum and propane delivery trucks. The deal, which closed in October 2025, adds PTT's 22,000-square-foot facility with six service bays to Tremcar's network, strengthening the company's footprint and service capabilities on the West Coast.

Why it matters

The acquisition gives Tremcar a strategic hub in a key regional market, potentially improving lead times, parts availability, and repair turnaround for propane and petroleum fleets operating in the western United States and western Canada. PTT's ASME 'R' Stamp certification and DOT-registered repair status are also valuable credentials that can assure fleets of quality control for specialized tank work.

The details

Under the terms of the deal, PTT's existing leadership and employees will remain with the company, and the Sacramento facility will continue to operate as a Tremcar service and assembly hub. This allows Tremcar to leverage PTT's established customer relationships and expertise while integrating the site into Tremcar's broader manufacturing and support network. The acquisition is part of Tremcar's strategic plan to expand its presence in the United States, particularly in the western region.

  • The acquisition was announced in industry publications in late 2025.
  • The deal officially closed on October 20, 2025.
